Chapter Seventy-Three: The Newcomer
Liu Wen looked at Lu Xin with some schadenfreude, she knew the truth of self-preservation, and she had always been quite contemptuous of Lu Xin's nosy behavior.
Qin Aowu and Dai Qing had complicated expressions, but they didn't expect that the girl's originally kind actions would bring disaster to themselves, just like the story of the farmer and the snake, who kindly saved the villain.
Sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and don't care about the frost on the tiles of others.
It's like falling to an old woman on the side of the road, whether you can help or not this kind of proposition, it's not that good intentions will be rewarded.
No matter what time you are in the society, there will always be those who will take revenge on the wicked and will trample on your goodness.
Ye Mu patted the girl's shoulder and comforted: "A little ghost who was tied to a tree is nothing. ”
Lu Xin smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I should have listened to you at the time." ”
Ye Mu shook his head, he really couldn't blame a kind girl, and said: "Don't worry too much, that kid was put down from the tree by me, if he wants to trouble us, he will definitely not let me go, and when the time comes, we will find a way to deal with him together."
Looking up at Ye Mu's zombie-like and ugly face, a burst of warmth rose in Lu Xin's heart.
Although Ye Mu looked light-hearted, he was actually complaining in his heart.
For this kind of strange thing, even he has no way to do it.
These ghosts have no logic at all, they are elusive, and their killing methods are even more unbelievable and unreasonable.
Now I can only appease the girl's emotions and take one step at a time.
The heavy rain soon began to light down after the flames had been extinguished, and several people took sticks out of their bags and lit them, so that with these rare treasures, there was no need to go around collecting hay and dead wood.
Ye Mu and Qin Aowu put their soaked shirts by the fire to dry, Liu Wen walked behind the tree and took out a clean shirt from her bag to change into, but Lu Xin squatted directly by the fire, and now she seems to have no courage to change clothes alone.
They now only have the overalls of a café waiter ...
Like a clown and a beauty, four waiters and a woman in red sit under a tree, and the scene is somewhat comical.
After nightfall, the rain on the grass had not yet dried, Ye Mu sat on the ground and nibbled on dry food, his pants sticking to his buttocks, wet.
I don't know when it started, everyone held their weapons in their hands, and since the discovery of the boy's handprint on Lu Xin's ankle, a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere surrounded the team.
Everyone sat around the fire, Ye Mu's expression suddenly froze, and he seemed to feel that something was standing beside him. And Qin Aowu's expression in front of him was as usual, as if he hadn't seen anything.
Ye Mu continued to chew the dried meat and fruit in his mouth, his right hand silently rested on the hilt of the sword, he wanted to cut off the head of the ghost with a sword, but unexpectedly, as soon as his right hand was placed on the hilt of the sword, he was firmly grasped by a pair of cold little hands, and those cold little hands were like iron tongs, so that Ye Mu could not break free.
Sure enough... Trouble me. ’
The strange feeling became more and more obvious, and Ye Mu could even catch a glimpse of the red figure standing on his left side with the corner of his eye. He wanted to make a sound, but it was as if someone had choked his throat, Ye Mu's face turned red, and his whole body gradually began to lose his strength.
Qin Aowu noticed Ye Mu's strange appearance, he immediately threw away the food in his hand, stepped over the fire, and grabbed Ye Mu's shoulder.
"Ye Mu, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Mu stared at Qin Aowu with wide eyes, he couldn't make a sound in his mouth, and his right hand on the hilt of the sword trembled violently.
"There's a boy in red next to him!" Lu Xin suddenly pointed to the open space beside Ye Mu and screamed.
Qin Aowu's face changed drastically, he suddenly got up, and the blood-red spear in his hand suddenly appeared, stabbing straight towards the void that Lu Xin was pointing to.
The spear stabbed into the air, and Qin Aowu turned his head to look at Lu Xin suspiciously.
"It's gone..."Lu Xin's expression softened a lot, and he surrendered his gaze to Ye Mu again.
"Ahem... Ahem"
Ye Mu was paralyzed and half-knelt on the ground, clutching his neck and coughing constantly.
Dai Qing hurriedly ran behind Ye Mu and patted him on the back, and asked with concern, "Is it better, what happened just now?" ”
"My throat feels like it's been choked, and my hand is grabbed by someone, so I can't use my strength..."Ye Mu said in a hoarse voice: "I also caught a glimpse of the boy in red, it seems that he really entangled us." ”
"And now? Scare me away? Qin Aowu frowned and looked at the tip of his spear: "I felt like I was stabbing the air just now. ”
"I don't know... I can't say for sure. Ye Mu cleared his throat: "I can't even tell whether he was scared away, or if he wanted to tease us slowly, don't worry about my safety, Qin Aowu, you pay attention to protecting Lu Xin." ”
Qin Aowu nodded and said, "I will always follow Lu Xin during this time." ”
Ye Mu thought about it for a while, and said: "Tomorrow we will go back to find the body of the boy in red, since he is entangled with us, there is no need for him to show mercy, just burn him." ”
When you are targeted by ghosts, you feel that there is a deadly poisonous snake entrenched around you all the time, and it will come out at any time to bite you. The enemies hidden in the darkness are the most terrifying, especially the ghost of the boy in red, who can't figure out his attack methods and means at all.
Unknown things are the most likely to cause panic.
The next day, before dawn, everyone got up and walked back, each with a haggard and tired look on their faces, as if they had returned to the time when they had been in a wooden house in the woods, and in such an environment that no one could sleep.
The place where the body of the boy in red was found was not far from where everyone had rested last night, and when everyone approached the big tree where the boy had hanged, they found a large group of people standing under the tree.
The men and women standing under the tree pointed around the tree, apparently finding the body of the boy in red under the tree.
Ye Mu glanced around, and when he saw the plane that landed smoothly on the ground not far away, a sudden look appeared on his face.
This is another batch of traversers.
Everyone glanced at each other, Ye Mu walked forward and asked, "Are you also the ones who crossed over?"
Only then did those who gathered together find Ye Mu and a few people, they seemed to be taken aback, and the crowd scattered in all directions, looking at Ye Mu with strange expressions.
When the crowd dispersed, several young and old men in suits and leather shoes could be seen squatting next to the corpse of the boy in red. The men wore white gloves on their hands, and on the ground were tweezers, silver needles, sharp axes, scissors, hooks, and some glass medicines.
Hearing Ye Mu's words, their movements stopped one after another, and one of the young men slowly raised his head, looked at Ye Mu suspiciously, and asked, "You said the traverser?" ”
